ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The concept of quality of life related to health intends that the well-being of patients be considered an important point both in their treatment and in the sustenance of life. In the case of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, studies concerning this aspect show results that quality of life is affected.
Objective:
To assess the quality of life in health, according to the perspective of women with polycystic ovary syndrome by means of questionnaire PCOSQ.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out in 84 women with a diagnosis of less than three months of polycystic ovary syndrome in the period from September 2019 to March 2020. The patients were applied the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Quality of Life questionnaire (PCOSQ), validated and translated into Spanish, as well as subjected to prior piloting.
Results:
The mean values of each domain were 3.83 (emotions), 4.27 (body hair), 4.20 (weight), 3.87 (infertility problems), and 3.83 (menstrual problems). Regarding the distribution of patients based on the global assessment of their quality of life according to this specific questionnaire, 47.6% were in the low category, 42.9% were in the average category, and 9.5% were in the high category.
Conclusions:
Polycystic ovary syndrome affects the health-related quality of life of these women. These effects must be taken into account to have an integrative vision and provide care in this regard whenever it is required.
